What is the strongest weapon in Marvel?
[This] Is Now The Most Powerful Weapon In The Marvel Universe (No It’s Not Mjolnir Or The Infinity Gauntlet)
Marvel has a habit of introducing new cosmic heroes or villains who get billed as the most powerful in the universe. But when it comes to all-powerful weapons, then Marvel gets tight lipped. Most people know the Infinity Gems to be the most powerful Marvel weapon. But all that might change with the All-Black Necrosword.
What Is The All-Black Necrosword?
The Infinity Stones have been playing a less prominent role in Marvel stories owing to their widespread use in the comics and MCU movies. But the All-Black Necrosword has been popping up in some surprising Marvel Universe corners.
Introduced in Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic’s Thor: God of Thunder #2, readers came to know about the origin of the All-Black Necrosword in Donny cates and Ryan Stegman’s Venom #4.
It was forged by symbiote god Knull with the blood of a celestial space god. The All-Black got christened as the Necrosword and the Godslayer after Knull’s pantheon spanning massacre. The symbiote sword then went to Gorr who came to be known as the God Butcher. Gorr’s goal was to use the sword to house a Godbomb which would destroy all deities across time and reality. Luckily Thor was able to intercept the plan and he ultimately cast the weapon into a black hole so that it couldn’t be used again.

Who Has Wielded The All-Black Necrosword?
But such powerful objects don’t go without a owner for long. The sword was then picked up in one of Marvel’s futures. Galactus came across the weapon when Thor tried to use it against him. Ultimately Galactus did get the weapon and transformed into the Butcher of Worlds from the Devourer of Worlds. From then on the sword has been used by Ego the Living Planet and Loki. Loki declared himself the All-Butcher and became more of a threat to his Asgardian brother than ever before.
The sword hasn’t been confined to just Thor comics either. It has been a central figure in Absolute Carnage since it turned out that the All-Black is actually the original symbiote. With such a history and a formidable list of powerful wielders, the All-Black Necrosword is quickly becoming one of Marvel’s most sought after weapons.

Ultimate Nullifier (Weapon)
The Ultimate Nullifier was created by the Watcher Emnu when the Prosilicans began to invade other planets using technology given to them by the Watchers. Upon its firing, it destroyed both the Prosilican Empire and nine tenths of the entire universe, which were later known as the Barrens. [5]
Johnny Storm retrieved the Ultimate Nullifier from Taa II, the home of Galactus — as directed by Uatu the Watcher — for the Fantastic Four to employ against the threat of Galactus himself. The Nullifier appeared as a small, hand-held metallic device with no apparent functionality. It was the only known weapon in the universe capable of inspiring outright fear in Galactus. [6]
Reed Richards threatened the use of the Ultimate Nullifier as a last ditch effort to stop Galactus from destroying Earth. Faced with the prospect of dying by Richards’ activation of the Nullifier, Galactus withdrew. [6]
The Nullifier later appeared during the Infinity War. Quasar tried to use it in an attempt to destroy the Magus, who had acquired the collective power of five cosmic cubes and a gauntlet containing 5 of the 6 Infinity Gems. The Reality Gem was replaced in this instance with a duplicate created by Thanos. Although Quasar tried to use the weapon on Magus, he failed to fire it and was nullified in the process. [7]
An Ultimate Nullifier was seen in Doop’s possession. [8] It is unknown how he acquired it or if it was a true or a replica.
During the early days of Sam Alexander’s journey as the newest member of the Nova Corps, Titus, an old Supernova, former ally of Sam’s father Jesse Alexander and, more recently, leader of the Chitauri, had a plan for this device of mass destruction. Sam Alexander took the Ultimate Nullifier [9] from Titus and accidentally hit him with it while they struggled for the weapon, presumably killing him. Sam then took the Ultimate Nullifier. He returned it to Uatu because he thought he was the only one to ever believe in him and he somehow knew that this belonged to him. [10]
When the abstract entity named the Griever at the End of All Things returned and confronted the Fantastic Four, Mister Fantastic tasked the Silver Surfer with retrieving the Ultimate Nullifier, which had returned to Taa II, as a last resort. [11] After Silver Surfer arrived on Earth and failed to take down the Griever, he unveiled the weapon and gave it to Franklin Richards since his intrinsic knowledge on the fabric of the universe made him the only person capable of using the weapon against her. The weapon was unused since Mister Fantastic found out a different way to rid of the Griever involving the Forever Gate. [1]
Properties
The Ultimate Nullifier has been described as «the universe’s most devastating weapon.» As such, the Ultimate Nullifier has the ability to completely and utterly eliminate any target the wielder chooses (through violation of the law of conservation of mass), and—if the wielder’s mind isn’t powerful enough—the wielder themself. Its effectiveness is heavily dependent upon the concentration, knowledge, and mindset of the wielder. [12] [13] [14] In the hands of a being with an extremely powerful intellect, such as Galactus, the Ultimate Nullifier can in effect destroy entire timelines from beginning to end [15] or instantly nullify (and paradoxically recreate) a Multiverse. [16] [14] [17]
The Ultimate Nullifier is generally kept within Galactus’ Worldship, Taa II, though at times Galactus has been known to carry it aboard his spherical starship. In the rare instances that the Nullifier gets stolen or kept in other locales, such as the Fantastic Four’s headquarters, the Nullifier inevitably returns to Galactus’ possession, usually with no explanation. The reason behind this inconsistency may have been revealed in the Abraxas saga. In it, Galactus demonstrates his ability to effortlessly recall the Nullifier to himself at will, even from the grasp of Abraxas himself, the Multiversal embodiment of destruction. [14]
Alternate Reality Versions
Humerverse (Earth-9047)
In this reality, the Ultimate Nullifier was being sold via Honest John’s store for $1,250.59, but not to Soviets (because it was during the Cold War) or to people under 21 years of age. A non-expert description of it use was included in the advertisement page. [18]
Notes
- There may in fact be two Ultimate Nullifiers in existence as the one held by Titus is remarked as having been assembled in accordance with the information deciphered from a Rigellian Recorder and is referred to as an Ultimate Nullifier instead of the Ultimate Nullifier.
- Before it was retconned to Watcher technology, [19] the Ultimate Nullifier was previously thought to be an aspect of Galactus. [20]

In no particular order, here are 10 of the most powerful god weapons in the Marvel universe.
1. Mjølnir
Forged by the Dwarves from a dying star, this has the power of the first cosmic storm of the universe. It can help the wielder, if worthy, to fly, teleport, shoot lightning, travel, and cause general destruction. Oh, and Odin enchanted it to carry a part of his force within it.
2. Eye of Agamotto
3. Odin Sword
The ultimate weapon used by the All-Father himself, this weapon is deployed almost only in the direst of situations, seen in the Ragnarok series. The weapon is infamous and has only been wielded by Odin and Thor.

4. The Darkhold
The lifework of the dark god Chthon, is carried in a tome with the secrets of the dark occult world and can be used by anyone regardless of their experience. The book gives the reader immense power but also corrupts their minds and will.
5. Twilight sword
An immense sword wielded by the gigantic fire demon, Surtur. The sword is coated by the Eternal Flame and can cut through anything – be it physical or metaphysical. It was forged in the fires of a burning galaxy and can destroy entire planets in one swoop.
6. All-Black The Necrosword
Christian Bale’s character in the next Thor film, Gorr the God Butcher, is the owner of this infamous weapon. The sword corrupts the user, instigating them to quench the sword’s thirst for godly blood. The sword can harm anyone, be it mortal or immortal.

7. Ultimate Nullifier
Possessed by Galactus, this is deemed the most dangerous weapon in the galaxy because it can rewrite the existence of a whole universe. The wielder can choose to remove their target from existence itself. However, if the user isn’t strong or worthy of using the power of this innocuous device, they may be erased from existence themselves.
8. The Destroyer
Made by Odin, Zeus, and Vishnu to protect the planet from any harm they might not be there for, the Destroyer armor was so infamous that even Galactus feared it. It could shoot energy blasts, and it was indestructible.
9. The Eternal Flame
Not so much a weapon than an energy source, the Eternal Flame was Surtur’s power source and could summon him, even from death. But it could also be used to resurrect armies, as used by Hela. She held it in higher regard than the Tesseract itself.
The most iconic god weapon there is, the Infinity Gauntlet, is used with the infinity stones embedded in it, rendering the wearer more powerful than the combined might of entities like the Watcher, Death, Kronos, Galactus, the Celestials, and much more. Everyone has seen the destruction of the Gauntlet in the MCU. This is only a fraction of its true power.
